What is the most likely result of the pollution of a fresh water resource?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Troyanec [42]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Loss of biodiversity in the wetlands.

Explanation: Pollution can be defined as the emission of toxic, poisonous and harmful chemical substances which are capable of causing environmental degradation and contamination.

Nitrogen pollution enters Earth’s freshwater resources from a variety of human activities, including the use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture. This nitrogen pollution has a negative effect on plants and animals living in fresh water. Certain wetland plants, however, are able to purify the water and restore it to its non-polluted state.

Hence, what would most likely increase the negative effects of nitrogen pollution is a loss of biodiversity in the wetlands i.e the various species of animal and plants.

Which statements are correct about silicon?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

A. Metalloid

E. Has similar properties as Ge

F. Belongs to Period 3​

Explanation:

Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. Its unit is SI. Its properties straddles between those of metals and non-metals and it is described as a non-metal.

It's atomic weight or mass number is 28u. It has an atomic number of 14 i.e in its neutral state, the number of protons and electrons are equal to 14.

Silicon belongs to the 4th group and the 3rd period on the periodic table. Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties. The elements in Si group are: C, Ge, Sn and Pb. The properties of Si is similar to these elements because they all have a valency of 4. Across the period, the properties varies this is why Si would have a very different property from Al and P.

An electron in the hydrogen atom makes a transition from an energy state of principal quantum number ni to the n = 2 state. If t
topjm [15]

Answer:

\boxed{3}

Explanation:

The Rydberg equation gives the wavelength λ for the transitions:

\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R \left ( \dfrac{1}{n_{i}^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )

where

R= the Rydberg constant (1.0974 ×10⁷ m⁻¹) and

\text{$n_{i}$ and $n_{f}$ are the numbers of the energy levels}

Data:

n_{f} = 2

λ = 657 nm

Calculation:  

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1}{657 \times 10^{-9}} & = & 1.0974 \times 10^{7}\left ( \dfrac{1}{2^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )\\\\1.522 \times 10^{6} &= &1.0974\times10^{7}\left(\dfrac{1}{4} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )\\\\0.1387 & = &\dfrac{1}{4} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \\\\-0.1113 & = & -\dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \\\\n_{f}^{2} & = & \dfrac{1}{0.1113}\\\\n_{f}^{2} & = & 8.98\\n_{f} & = & 2.997 \approx \mathbf{3}\\\end{array}\\\text{The value of $n_{i}$ is }\boxed{\mathbf{3}}

If a straight-chain hydrocarbon is a gas at room temperature, how many carbon atoms will it have?
Orlov [11]

The fewer the carbon atoms, the closer it is  to being a gas. The only one you have to check out is A which is hexane. You know that gasoline at the pumps has 8 carbons and its a liquid. So B and C are both not gases  because they are above 8.

C6 (hexane) is a liquid at room temperature not a gas.

The answer is D. If there is a gas present, it must be C3

iron is made by a reduction of iron oxide with carbon monoxide. Fe2O3+3CO-2Fe+3CO2. Calculate the mass of iron that can be forme
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Mass = 88.12 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iron oxide = 126 g

Mass of iron formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO    →      2Fe + 3CO₂

Number of moles of iron oxide:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 126 g/ 159.69 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.789 mol

Now we will compare the moles of iron with iron oxide.

                      Fe₂O₃           :             Fe

                         1                 :               2

                   0.789              :            2/1×0.789 = 1.578 mol

Mass of iron:

Mass = number of moles ×molar mass

Mass = 1.578 mol × 55.84 g/mol

Mass = 88.12 g
